Alpine Hardware Premium Heat Pump Drillless Drill-Less Window Air Conditioner & Heat Pump Bracket - Window AC Support - Supports Air Conditioners Well Over 200 lbs. - No Drilling 2023 Model

Bought this to replace a failed bracket for my LG 15K BTU room air conditioner. Unit was fullfilled by Amazon. Unit arrived in its box, damaged. The level vials were broken and one was drained of its fluid. That is enough to warrant a return right there, but this was intended for supporting a large AC unit. it is probably strong enough to hold the Unit in the window, IF, it fit the unit. My AC unit measures 25 deep without the front face grill. This bracket measures overall 18. that is 18 from the front holes used for mounting to the window sill to the end of the bracket outside the window. My AC is a slide in as most of the large units are, you have to mount the can in the window then slide the Unit into the can and mount the front grille. The can has no bottom. There is no way to mount the can to this bracket. It is just plain flat too small. Here, SIZE DOES MATTER! It may very well hold 180# but that is deceiving because a 180# AC unit is going to be a lot larger than 18 deep x 18 wide. This will not work for the class of AC unit claimed in its advertising. Gave it three stars cause it does appear that it would work fine for a small unit.outside of the broken level vials which seem to be common with this product. Returned for refund. It only measures 18 x 18 good thing to know when mounting a 27 wide by 25 deep AC unit.

Im so glad i bought this item. Its my first time installing something of the kind so i was very concerned about the weight and position for our window ac unit, Im glad i didnt have to hope i had done an ok job and just letting the ac unit hang on its own on the window frame...

This Alpine A/C support bracket is well designed and well made. It is held together with bolts and screws, which make this adjustable bracket very sturdy. I ordered this bracket, because I had to return an Ivation bracket that was very poorly welded together and used cheap spring pins for adjustments.

I don’t often write reviews. And I normally think people are just being dramatic when they say something was hard to put together because most things are pretty easy. But holy cow, the written instructions for this thing are rotten. I even looked up the YouTube video the company puts out - also not great. The hand putting things together in the video is in the way in many shots. On top of that, the screws and nuts go into such awkward places that it was next to impossible to get some of them as tight as you’d like. It works fine now that it’s put together, but I’d never buy it again or recommend it to anyone.

I have used the one leg and this version. Installed a large 18.000 BTU unit with this item. Not too many parts, decent directions. I had to fiddle with the settings to get it right (VERY weird customer window so harder). Best part was the level-allowed me to gauge EXACTLY when i got everything right. Before the AC unit went in, I hung my 165 pound body on this to show my customer how strong it is. Dont screw around, an AC can break the glass in a window, and/or bend or warp your window. Instead place it on this support. It will protect your window from rot (same customer had wood under their last unit-this job included rebuilding the window ledge). The outside foot will protect most house cladding-even cedar shakes. Ill never install a window unit that weighs more than 45 pounds without the one arm or two arm version. Check your ac unit weight and buy one of these. It will look professional. (I am a Home Improvement/maintenance contractor).

I bought four units and putting the first one together took awhile. The directions were minimal and pictures didn’t help much. The following 3 were easy since I became an expert at it. Installed, they are working as advertised. It’s a smart system. Just be prepared for a lot of assembly.

Looks sturdy enough for my air conditioner.

This worked out great for me, mostly! I did not want to drill holes into my window frame to install an AC unit that I would be taking out again in the Fall so I purchased this support bracket. I also wanted to make sure that the AC unit did not fall from my 2nd story place and hit someone. It worked great, with a few notes: 1. The assembly part was a bit tricky for me as you have to install legs in a certain direction and I missed that part of the instructions but it was easy enough to undo and fix. 2. Also, it was hard to seal the air gap left in between the bracket and where the AC unit rests on it. This is not covered in any instructions I researched, including their online video. It might work better if you have two people to install the AC so you could drop it on top of some insulation you install on the bracket. I was sliding the AC onto the bracket myself so that didnt work for me. I used some painters tape to try to seal up the gaps that I could reach and it was fine for the summer. 3. I also had a problem when I removed the bracket for the Fall- it peeled off a bit of paint where the feet were resting against my outside wall. I covered the feet with painters tape in hopes that it will not do it again next year. With those notes, I would definitely recommend this support bracket for anyone who wants more support for their Window AC unit, especially if you do not want to have to drill holes in your house. I was able to install a 60lb AC unit by myself and not have to worry about dropping it during the process.

I have several problems with this window support bracket, first of which is that it came with ineffective hardware. It doesnt have enough washers for all of the pieces, and half of the nuts that came with the package use plastic stoppers which cause them to cap off at a certain point on the bolt when threaded on. This means they cant be tightened down all of the way and would require at least twice as many washers as the kit came with to make the join on these bolts secure in any sense. Second although the kit claims to fit most windows, at the smallest setting for the brackets, the legs still dont have a tight enough hold on my window ledge and are just too heavy for a second story window. They dangle and pull the entire bracket down. Not to mention, the weld for the main support ledge is crooked which means getting the center support in between the main two arms was nearly impossible and tilts the entire ledge at an angle when joined. This causes the screws for the legs to come loose with time. I will be returning this product as soon as possible.
